Unfortunately, I am one of those that has to have my checkbook balanced to the penny. Since I hardly use cash, the $5 method would not work for me too well. I do use the spare change method though. For the times that I do use cash, I always save the change.

Coins and small bills are easily ignored, but you'll be surprised how much they add up given a certain period of time. And they do not make you flinch either. Little does it.

Journey - that works too. Annoyingly I do get a fair amount of check queries each month for things that can't go online pay like stuff for my kids' school activities, book fairs etc. I also like quick easy access to my real balance since there's a lag between when you submit payment and when your real balance shows in account ( you know, so banks can make money on the float - which is pretty annoying).

I don't really notice the 20 bucks, but my vacation fund is over $800 for the year! (Wife does it too). Why do you actually take the time to balance a check book? You seem to like the online account, and rarely write a check so what is to balance?
